IMPROVING DATA CENTER EFFICIENCY

AND RELATED IMPACTS

ELECTRIC POWER CONTINUES TO BE CHALLENGING FOR THE DATA CENTER INDUSTRY

What you need to consider

The energy required to operate the data center is still a major challenge. Large Data centers in particular, have invested heavily to optimize power usage, in addition to utilizing alternative and renewable energy sources. However, there are still various mid-size data center installations that can improve their power usage by implementing simple improvements.

Positioning the cooling device closer to the heat source will improve your cooling efficiency

What is important:

  • Sustained versus surge power
  • Nameplate versus actual power usage
  • Raised versus non-raised floor data centers
  • Data center energy costs and savings
